<h1>Dear Archive.org</h1>
<pre>
Your page, &lt;<a href="https://web.archive.org/details/libreboot.org/github.php">https://web.archive.org/details/libreboot.org/github.php</a>&gt;,
says: "The Wayback Machine requires your browser to support
JavaScript, please email info@archive.org if you have any questions
about this."

I love the Wayback Machine.  So many people do.  But, when you
proprietary software, it makes many users lose trust in the Internet
Archive.

Could you make this site gracefully degrade, so it does not need
JavaScript?

If you cannot design the site to gracefully degrade, could you make
sure that the JavaScript you send to me and other users is licensed
under a free software license approved by both the Free Software
Foundation and the Open Source Initiative?

Please stop sending proprietary JavaScript code to my laptop as a
precondition for your site to work.  Just as you have control over
your actions while interacting with me, so too should I have control
over my actions while interacting with you.

Either the programs control your actions, or your actions control the
programs.  With proprietary programs, the program has the last say:
The program controls the user.

Please make your JavaScript free/libre software.
